slamspurs

If the spurs lose every game from now on they may get a top 3 pick. I guess that’s the plan.

Dunno why the NBA doesn’t flex. Nobody wanted to see this game.

Thanks for fixing it to show actual record, rather than just ATS record. Probability wise, everyone's around .500 ATS, doesn't tell me that much. 

Big difference between a 25-31 ATS Wizards team and like a 26-32-1 Minnesota Timberwolves team. 

Yes, I was looking at that game, but I'm ultimately going to pass or play it small.

Yes, the Lakers are off a huge blowout win at Denver which was Luka's coming out party. Normally a good spot to fade.

However, I believe Dallas is 4-1-1 after the trade, and the majority of that was without AD.

9.5 seems like a ton of points to be getting for a team that's only lost once ATS in their last 6. Like should be more like in the 5.5 to 6.5 range, not more than 7.5. 

The all star games in the NBA and the NFL are a joke now.

The best part of both weekends are the skill competitions. Flag football and no defense all star games are weak. I dunno what you mean by personality. 

When you're making 50-60-70M a season it's hard to get up for these things. Even the rookies make bank nowadays. The #1 pick has a guaranteed $58M contract. 

Team Candace +6.5

No, the Patriots already have their franchise QB. Drake Maye is gonna be at least a middling QB. 

The draft class is weak. Atlanta and Denver were smart to reach and draft Penix and Nix last season.

Anyone tanking for Shadeur Sanders? Sanders frame isn't going to hold up to NFL hits. Cam Ward will probably end up being more Dwayne Haskins than CJ Stroud. 

Marvin Harrison Jr. isn't even going to crack 1,000 yards this season. 

It was a good matchup for him. It feels like everyone scores 30 points against the Colts.

He had some good games when he was with Denver. I thought he had potential if he had time to continue to develop. Yeah, he's on his third team in 3 years, but he hasn't shown me any consistency other than he can get one big win a year. 

The Giants are a team that can get good quickly with the right coach and QB. Malik Nabers is a stud. Tyrone Tracy is a nice back, and lots of young receivers on that team. 

As a Washington fan, I was pretty irritated that the Giants jumped up and grabbed Daniel Jones who was mocked to us that season. We ended up with Dwayne Haskins and because of that we didn't grab Tua or Herbert the season after, which is pretty annoying, but it worked out with us finally getting Daniels this season.

If the Giants had Daniels and a Kliff Kingsbury, they'd be a dangerous team. 

And for the record, I wasn't high on Daniels either. His numbers were awful at Arizona State. But I've seen it enough times to realize that people transfer for a reason, and the right coach can really maximize someone's potential.

Consider that these dudes were all transfers (off the top of my head): Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, Bo Nix, Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts. 

Was watching a video talking about the game.

Dude pointed out that Green Bay has lost to every team they've played that has 9 wins this year (prior to this week).

(Minnesota, Detroit (2x), Philly). 

He was wrong though, Houston has 9 wins and they beat them, but did not cover. 

This was the featured game of the week, but in actuality Green Bay didn't really have much to play for other than seeding. Like who cares if they're a 4, 5, 6, or even 7 seed. Minnesota had more to play for. I didn't realize they had a realistic chance at the 1 seed with how well Detroit has played all season. 

Green Bay will be fine. They're in Jordan Love's second full year as a starter, and he's a sure fire franchise QB. 

Sucks, I took the Broncos +3.5 on Saturday cuz I'm almost positive they'll make the playoffs. Unfortunately, at -7.5 it becomes not worth it, especially since they can back their way in if Pitt beats Cincy as only a 2 point dog. 

I just want them to get rid of that stupid new kickoff rule.

The NFL is a business even more than college. These dudes get paid millions of dollars and take hits from grown men. They want to get OT over as quickly as possible. 

Nah, if you were looking at the live line u knew u were fucked early.

Cincy was down 0-3 and the line was Cincy -3.5 somehow with the ball on their own 30. Vegas knew. 

Chiefs are doing it with defense, which is a progression through the years. 

I dunno about you, but the prospect of going for 3 championships in a row for the first time in the history of the NFL sounds exciting to me. 

Stats aside, you know Mahomes is one of the best to ever do it. If they gave him an AJ Brown or a Ceedee Lamb, Jamar Chase, or even a Brian Thomas this team would be putting up a lot more points than they have been. Instead they have a Kelce who is great, but likely going to retire after this season. And they have Pacheco who is a nice player, but he's no Jonathan Taylor, Saquon type game changer.

Nothing wrong with a team with an elite QB, great coach, and great defense winning again if they do. 

What are u worried about. Saints have to score 2 tds to cover. 

The other guy put up 0 first half as well. What choices do they have. 

Not a good weekend, or really season for dog players other than the first month. 

Hate these types of games. You really look like a genius or a fool. Zero reason to be taking the Saints tonight. 

Gonna be 27-3 or 17-16. 

This is one of those predictions nobody pays attention to. Cuz if you're right about a 6 or a 9 to 1 you can brag and claim you're a genius. But nobody can really come back and rag on you for it, because it was a long shot anyways. 

Yeah, I'll say New Orleans loses by 1 pt 

Thanks Claw. I was going in too many directions this week. You helped clear things up for me. 

I've tried to play contrarian with this series for years now, and it never works. The games are always close.

The underdog is 9-1 ATS in the last 10. Just take the points or you'll be kicking yourself. Especially after the Steelers looked like garbage last week and the Ravens and Lamar had 5 TDs. 

Yeah not lookin good for Arizona. Looks like SF has a better chance of covering than them. 

Not to be a smartass Wizer, but If Seattle is "done" as you say, why do you need to tease Arizona up to +8 and couple them with SF +8 in a teaser, rather than just playing Arizona straight up?
